Only red eyes were revealed.

...

The tomb ghost rubbed his ears.

It was finally quiet.

It floated to the tombstone and looked at the girl with her chin.

The girl put down her hand and looked at the photo on the tombstone blankly.

The woman's gentle smile made her eyes hot again.

She sniffed.

"Mother……"

...

In the following time, the girl stared at the photos on the tombstone in a daze.

The tomb ghost stared at the girl in a daze.

It is a little confused.

Why did the girl suddenly become so quiet?

It was obviously so noisy before...

I cried so hard and said a lot of things...

Oh, the tomb ghost suddenly realized.

Are you tired?

Humans are fragile.

However, the tomb ghost was still scared, and such a fragile human being was so frustrating that the demon had a headache when he cried.

Compared to the crying humans, it still feels that smiling humans are more pleasing to the eyes.

Perhaps it is because of the crying human beings who see too much, so the rare smile makes it like it even more.

...

"Apiao, I'm going home."

The girl looked up at the tomb ghost on the tombstone.

There were tears on his face.

It makes the child look a little pitiful and embarrassed.

"Apiao, goodbye."

The girl turned around and walked down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The tomb ghost stared at the girl's back for a while, and then followed silently.

Until the girl came out of the mountain.

The tomb ghost stopped at the entrance of the mountain pass and watched the girl disappear at the end of the road before it turned around and returned to the mountain.

...

The tomb ghost stopped in front of the woman's tombstone for a while, and then floated elsewhere.

It saw the tomb sweepers of this tomb and heard a lot of different things.

Especially, that girl could see it.

Apiao?

It looked down at itself, and couldn't help but grin on the corner of its mouth.

It was in a good mood when I talked to humans for a long time.

It would be even better if that human could cry less.

...

The tomb ghosts shuttled among the trees, causing the branches and leaves to shake. The birds were frightened by the sudden movement and fleeing in panic.

“Geeh~”

The tomb ghost smiled so hard that his one-eyed eyes narrowed into a slit.

Huh?

The tomb ghost's eyes lit up.

It saw a squirrel.

It was about to pass, but its heart stopped feeling something.

Listen carefully, the tomb ghost's ears moved slightly.

“…Apiao…”

This sound, this title...

It's that girl.

The tomb ghost quickly remembered the master of the voice.

She is here again?

The tomb ghost was a little surprised.

...

Another seven days passed, and the tomb ghost always returned to the cemetery intentionally or unintentionally, but did not wait for the girl.

It thought that seeing that girl again was probably going to be next autumn.

Just like many other gravewalkers.

After coming once, meeting again will be a four-season rotation.

...

The tomb ghost floated over with the sound.

"Apiao!"

The girl shouted in surprise, "I thought you were gone."

"Hey, Apiao, why can you show up during the day?"

“The last time, too.”

Without waiting for the tomb ghost to roll his eyes, the girl had already answered her own question, "Oh, Apiao, you are not a ghost."

"I almost forgot."

Tomb Ghost:...

...

"Apiao, look."
